Notice how the anti-union alliance are incapable of seeing that it's more complex than "unions bad" given that every other country in the developed world has active teaching unions as well.
I can't speak for the rest of Europe but in the UK teachers' unions are affiliated to the Labour Party and part of the union dues is paid to that party.
Employing large amounts of people to look for exceptions in the tax code means that it will always be in favour of the corporations because their highly paid experts are competing with the poorly paid and demoralised government workers.
I don't know what the answer is but things can't continue the way they are. Blaming tax codes for the greed of these organisations is far too easy and invites everyone to just throw their hands up and say nothing can be done.
Why should Apple or any other corporation get all the benefits of a developed nation including limited liability and patents when they're doing their level best to avoid paying for those benefits? If they want to play these tax avoidance games they should have those benefits withdrawn.
That's because politics in the US isn't about ideas it's more like a sports game where your side can do no wrong and the other side is Satan and all his demons.
What edge case? Home users might have migrated to iPads but Windows still rules the roost in the business world, or did Microsoft go bust while I wasn't looking.
Since virtually no one owned a gun before the ban on hand guns you don't know what you're talking about. Crime has been falling steadily in the UK for the past 2 decades despite the fact that we can't massacre children anymore.
You can still get a gun legally in Europe, it's just not ludicrously easy like it is in the U.S. If you have a legitimate need for a gun here you can get one.
Does that mean we Europeans can ignore gang related gun murders too when there's a debate on gun violence? You'll find that our stats go down to virtually zero if we do that.

I suggest a look at any country that doesn't have taxpayer funded education for a very obvious example of what happens.
What is the job of a union? Who does it represent?

And how will the people mentioned in this article afford to go?
If you think the unions are less powerful or corrupt in Europe I have a bridge to sell you.
I can't speak for the rest of Europe but in the UK teachers' unions are affiliated to the Labour Party and part of the union dues is paid to that party.
And of course there are no teaching unions in European countries.

You just need to go at night
Maybe in the consumer area but in the corporate sector it's still firmly entrenched.

The funkiest monkey that ever popped.
China already has.
The Internet would run faster if Slashdot editors put a little more effort into finding information out for us.
That would explain the verbal diarrhoea.

I suggest MisAnthropies.
Even iOS has ad blockers now. It's very ready to get rid of them.
Great for a few people. The majority were dying in their 40s from preventable diseases or industrial accidents.

Competing with criminals is very hard.
